Today’s reading: Luke 14
The cost of discipleship is high! Jesus said:
… “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:25-27
It’s always is important to think carefully about what Jesus is saying. We know from experience that when we become Christian we are not required to immediately start hating our family. So what’s Jesus talking about? What he’s saying is that your commitment has to be total. It could be that family members will challenge you. It certainly will be that there will be crosses to bear. Whatever the challenges you must devote yourself to his discipleship.

I was born and raised in New York City, and now live in Fairfax, VA with my wife and four kids.
I am an attorney and accomplished litigator at one of Washington D.C.’s top law firms, I began writing about religion when I was asked to author a series of articles explaining the Catholic faith on the popular blog 52 Prayers. I now write regularly about my faith on my blog.
My recently published novel The Last Confession of The Vampire Judas Iscariot is my first foray into fiction.
